Alaska

Josie flees to the state of Alaska with her children when her life in Ohio becomes too difficult for her to bear. She hopes to find a state full of heroic people and beauty. However, when she arrives in Alaska, she decides it does not look much different than Ohio and she wonders where the heroic people are. While she is there, the state is wracked by wildfires. Josie twice finds herself running away from the fires: once while driving the Chateau and once when she is evacuated while at a musician’s house.

The Chateau

The Chateau is an old RV that Josie rents to travel around Alaska. The vehicle is not in good shape. The engine cannot go faster than 48 miles per hour and it is a bit rickety. She and the kids live in the Chateau most of the time that they are in Alaska...
